Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Ashbrook). They secured a 95-89 W over the Huss Huskies on Friday. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 73-60 back in January.
Ashbrook got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Issac Byers Jr. out in front who went 9-for-17 en route to 29 points along with eight assists and six boards. That's the most assists Byers Jr. has posted since back in February of 2024. Another player making a difference was Jamari Smith, who went 11-for-22 to rack up 24 points in addition to six assists and six rebounds.
Byers Jr. wasn't the only one working in the assist department: Ashbrook was working as a unit and finished the game with 26 assists. They racked up 16 more assists than Huss' also-impressive total of ten.
Huss' loss shouldn't obscure the performances of Zaiyir 'Zii' Phillips, who went 8-for-18 on his way to 30 points along with five boards and three steals, and Jaleel Smith, who had 26 points in addition to five rebounds and three steals. Smith is crushing it when it comes to steals: he's grabbed at least two every time he's taken the court this season. Antonio Worthy was another key player, going 7-for-13 en route to 15 points.
The victory was the third in a row for Ashbrook, bringing their record for this year to 21-3. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 80.3 points over those games. As for Huss, their defeat dropped their record down to 15-7.
Ashbrook does not have any more games scheduled as of now. As for Huss, they will take on Crest on Tuesday. One thing working in Crest's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last 18 matches.
